Rule Details
Details of the rules can be found in this document: BSC Rules of Play
Recreational soccer follows the FIFA Laws of the Game. The game is modified by BSC, with fewer rules for the lower divisions. At Intermediate and Senior nearly all the rules are in effect. The one BSC change that applies to all Recreational divisions is that slide-tackling is not allowed.
